SIGNED: Cowick is the latest Clan member
intu Braehead Clan are delighted to announce the signing of Canadian left winger Corey Cowick for the 2016/17 season.
The 27-year-old arrives from the Florida Everblades in the ECHL and has played in the AHL with Binghamton Senators and Springfield Falcons.
And Clan’s head coach Ryan Finnerty says he was pleased to finally get the deal for Cowick over the line.
“Corey’s name was high on our list early. We even thought at one point he was unattainable,” revealed Finnerty.
“We were able to persist with his agent which involved some long nights and lengthy phone calls and messages, but we eventually arrived at a deal and we’re delighted to have him.
“We’ve been looking for some size – a power forward kinda guy and who plays a powerful game as he gets to the net.
“He maybe hasn’t got the numbers he would like, but if you look at his output in the American league, he’s scored 15,16 goals a season.
“We want to give him that opportunity. We like that he can play a power game and that he’s not afraid to get in the mix and play in the hard areas.
“We think if we can surround him with the type of players we want to, we’ll see that offence he had in the AHL and then some.”
Cowick played 71 times for the Everblades last year, scoring 14 goals and assisting in a further 12 and becomes the 13th signing of the summer.
He’ll wear the #27 jersey and joins Alex Leavitt, Gary Russell, Scott Aarssen, Cody Carlson, Zach Sullivan, Callum Boyd, Matt Haywood, Matt Keith, Bari McKenzie, Craig Peacock, Scott Pitt and Daniel Åhsberg on the roster.
